Human v/s Ai

Human v/s Ai

Human Intelligence: A comparison. Nature: While Human Intelligence looks to adjust to new environments by using a combination of various cognitive processes, AI aims to create machines that can imitate human behavior and perform human-like actions.

I’m not sure what you think — Artificial Intelligence or Human Intelligence? Maybe both of them, but which one is better?

So you might be asking yourself the same question about the topic. Let’s discuss a bit more this issue, and hopefully find another answer in the end of the article. So, let’s start!

A quick introduction to “AI”

First thing you need to know: artificial intelligence (AI) is any computer program or hardware system used for intelligent learning, decision making, problem solving, or other tasks commonly associated with human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, playing games, translating text, etc. The term AI has several definitions, depending on who is talking about it, but most sources refer to it as an attempt to explain the differences between humans and Super intelligent machines. Generally speaking, we can divide AI into two categories with respect to their goals: narrow vs general AI and human vs machine intelligence. Here are some examples of these types.

How does the brain compare to this kind of technology?

Neural networks are a type of pattern recognition software developed by IBM researchers. It is mostly concerned with identifying certain patterns in images and text and trying to guess the correct response to each specific question or sentence. One example of its work is Google’s Autom, whose aim was to allow computers to learn how to interpret pictures by themselves and then apply those skills to different domains, e.g., recognizing objects in photos, identifying words by reading text, etc. In fact, the idea behind neural networks is very simple. We have lots of data scattered among our brains. With enough computing power, we can build models (or hypotheses) about how the brain processes the information, how well it detects and reacts to stimuli.

Neural networks are nothing but algorithms that map inputs (images, text, and so on) to outputs, i.e., outputs can either be 1 (for human input) or 0 (for supercomputer output) and they are trained to provide answers to questions. For instance, when I want to classify pictures of animals, I would probably ask myself whether they are a bird, a dog, a cat, or a monkey. Most machines don’t even know why they are asking these kinds of questions, but neural networks could infer it without telling us. This way, computers could develop intelligence by training them to recognize particular animal species by collecting a vast number of different images. Neural networks are extremely useful because they were the first ever system capable of distinguishing cats from dogs using only a few pixels of code while also being able to distinguish dogs from birds without relying on prior knowledge about this. They were able to do so because neural networks are based upon a common biological feature: the structure of our nervous system. Every biological neuron responds to external stimuli by transmitting electrical signals into our brains. These signals are received by many other neurons called dendrites that pass-through layers of cells before reaching a nerve cell. After receiving one or several signals from other nerves, our brain passes it to our brain cells and gets processed in different parts of the brain. When neural networks were invented, they were able to process complex information like finding your favorite song on YouTube in just a few seconds, rather than going through several hours of manual processing.

So, how does human intelligence compare to the superintelligence?

So, which one of them is better? Well, let’s get to the details. How do people distinguish human beings from super intelligent machines? Is there something else on the line (e.g., natural language)? Are there any aspects that make us unique compared to machines? If we think about it, there are quite a lot of similarities between the two types of intellect, apart from the obvious difference in size and shape. At the heart of all of our experiences is the ability to communicate, and a person can do it by expressing emotions, thoughts, etc. People and machines talk to each the same machine. Even though they may not perceive a visual image of the same object through their eyes, people recognize the world by hearing its name. Our minds receive signals from all parts of the environment, and we use both auditory and visual channels to receive them. And the best part of this similarity is the ability to share these signals. As soon as someone notices someone wearing glasses, he can tell his friend that it might help him to see the world better, which will lead him to think of taking them out of there. Similarly, if we were creating super intelligent robots and giving them a language, we could train them to understand speech by interacting with others. On the one hand, they can express their intentions, desires, worries, concerns, etc. at their fingertips, but without thinking about how much time and energy it requires to process those kinds of actions. And here lies a serious threat to humanity and humankind. Could it happen within a few years that a robot learns to speak and act like a real human, and then they decide that humans and machines are completely incompatible? What if a robotic body starts to look human? Or in many cases, they can start to think. Think of the movie Her and believe me when I say that it will be painful to watch. But they won’t realize what humans are capable of doing. So, what’s the point in having artificially intelligent systems and not creating ones instead? Why couldn’t they create human ones? There are a few reasons why, some of them being social and ethical.

Why “human”? If a person could behave in such a way, wouldn’t that be amazing? No, of course it wouldn’t be. You might think that if an alien appeared on earth in the future and gave us these abilities, that would mean the next big change. Not really, it would mean the death of thousands of jobs, massive unemployment and suffering. And there is no guarantee that robots will never surpass us in the coming decades. Who knows how long it would take to reach this point, let alone how many jobs it may cause. Yes, the technological progress is happening rapidly for sure, but we really should not underestimate human potential. That’s what makes us special. Humans can imagine, feel, be, and solve problems. And if they did so, people wouldn’t be satisfied with just being humans. Robots aren’t able to do anything like this and neither will they anytime soon. So, why should we try to replace human intelligence with artificial one? Just because people can do things we cannot do. Or is the matter that we can do everything while also realizing the value of human life. An AI could not care about society in a similar way. Would it enjoy being a slave to humans all day? All the same things? Probably not, humans deserve more freedom and freedoms, and they can do things without feeling bad about it, while still respecting their own interests.

So, why should humans care and create artificial intelligence instead of bringing it up ourselves? Why should we build a higher intellect that will eventually become a superior power?

The solution needs imagination and creativity. Humanity is capable of doing amazing things, and we always dream of that we will do. Because they are capable and want to become great, they can achieve great things, and maybe do amazing ones, too. To be honest, we don’t even understand ourselves fully yet. So, it makes sense that we create intelligent agents. Maybe these agents will be able to replace humans in the future, or maybe they will simply replace people of our age, for that matter. Either way, our goal in building them is to keep them happy. And if this happiness could be achieved, maybe we will save a little bit of ourselves.
